Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, “high end” designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms. The text is illustrated with color photos from the author’s own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden’s leading dealer in the 20th century Swedish glass.

This is a special catalogue of Per-Rene Larsen’s beautiful organic glass pieces. Larsen was born in 1949 in Copenhagen, Denmark and views art as “A spiritual dimention in a work which arises because of a vision, a will, a choice and an unconscious presence in the process of creation...” He views himself “as both a craftsman and an artist” and “regards boths concepts with equal serousness.” His ideals shine through his works of art as each piece has a precision to its beauty.

Beautifully designed catalogue presenting four artists who began their careers in the mid to late 1990s - Sally Fawkes, John Burton, Richard Jackson and Eva Engstr�m. Each artist is presented with colour images of several of their works, bioraphies and a statement. Seen seperatley the work of each individual artist has its own attractions but as a combined body of work this exhibition provides a rare insight into the wider state of the art in which they have chosen to express themselves. Four good friends are exhibiting their work together, all of them once students at Surrey Institute of Art & Design University College in England and each in his or her own way has developed a recognisable handwriting in glass.

Janusz Walentynowlcz was born in 1956 in Poland and began working with glass after he and his family fled to Denmark escaping communist rule. His style of expression is a unique take on glass work as he focuses on his ideals throught its flexibility as a medium. He combines glass with both steel and painting and is able to capture powerful imagery addressing the human condition.

Beautifully designed, this catalogue presents this Swedish/German artist who has her roots solidly planted in Scandinavia. A large number of the works making up the exhibition “Observations” are illustrated in this catalogue. This is her largest retrospective exhibition to date. She expresses herself in glass with a remarkable degree of strong personal presence, and in a rather avant-garde way. She uses her material to the utmost, but she also goes beyond glass. In her choice of materials she also uses graphics and bronze to express herself, which are also included in this exhibition. She transcends barriers in the mind in a provoking and observing way, etching and carving both figuratively and abstract into the glass.
